MACHINE FOR WINDlNG PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,034, dated July l0, 1883. Application filed April 2. 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis DnJoNen, J r. of Stapleton, in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for finding Paper, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved machine for winding paper into. rolls in an even and uniform manner as the sameis delivered from the drying-rooms; and the invention consists ofthe combination, with a number of guide-rollers and tension-rods, of alarge revolving drum which receives direct motion from the driving-shaft, and which moves the paper forward, in connection with a gravityroller that presses the paper against the drum. The paper passes from the feed-drum over an intermediate guide-roller to the winding-up roller, to which also direct motion is imparted from the driving-shaft, and on which the paper is tightly wound by means of a pressureroller.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 representsa vertical longitudinal section of my improved machine for winding paper. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively a rear and a front elevation of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding'parts. v

A in the drawings represents the supporting-frame of my improved machine for winding up paper. At the upper end of frame A is supported in suitable bearings the drivingshaft B, from which direct motion is imparted by a belt-and-pulley transmission to a drum, C, and by a second transmission to a windingup roller, D, the shafts of which are supported in bearings at the lower part of frame A. The paper is moved forward by the drum and passed over a number of guide-rollers, a a. a? c3, and smooth intermediate tension-rods, b b b2, that are supported at the upper part of frame A. The upper guide-roller, a., as well as the tension-rod b2, is provided with laterally-adjnstable disks d d, which are set to the width erly over the guide-rollers.

of the paper and serve to guide the same prop- From the guideroller a? the paper is conducted over a gravityroller, E, of solid iron or steel, that presses the paper on the circumference of the drum C.

The gravity-roller E turns in adjustable bearings e of brackets c of frame A, and is set more vor less close to the drum C, according to the thickness of the paper. The paper then passes around the drum C and over a guide-roller, ai, at the opposite side of the drum, and from the roller to the winding-up roller D, which is secured detachably to its shaft by means of laterally-adjustable conical screw-nuts f f. On removing the shaft of the winding-up roller D from its bearings, the roller and the paper wound up thereon can be readily removed from the shaft by unscrewing the conical nuts f f. The paper is .wound uniformly on the winding-up roller D by a pressure-roller, D, that turns in bearings of levers D2, which are pivoted to the upright-s of frame A, asshown in Fig. 1, the pressure-roller serving to secure the tight winding up ofthe paper.

The essential advantage of my improved paper-winding machine consists in the fact that the drum C receives motion independently from the winding-up roller D, so as to produce jointly with the gravity-roller E the forward drawing of the paper, whereby the winding-up roller is relieved from any strain. As the winding-up roller receives its motion directly from the driving-shaft, the winding up of the paper takes place independently from the pulling of the paper, so that a more even winding, without any folds or unevenness in the paper, is the result.

I am aware that paper-winders having a frietion-belt and a yielding tightener have been used; but such a device'l do not claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. As an improvement in paper-winding machines, the combination, with suitable guiderollers and tension-rods, of a drawing-drum and gravity-roller, which holds the paper in contact therewith, and of a winding-up roller7 kthe drawing-drum and winding-up roller receiving rotary motion independently of each other from the driving-shaft, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of suitable guide-rollers and tension-rods, a drawing-drum, a gravityroller turning in adjustable bearings and pressing the paper against the drum, a winding-up roo roller, a pressure-roller bearing on the Windmy invention I lhtwe signed my name in presng-up roller, and beIt-and-pulley transmisence of two subscribing Witnesses.l 1; sions, whereby the drawing-drum and Winding-up roller receive rotary motion independ- LOUIS DEJONGE JR' 5 ently of each other 'from the same driving- Witnesses:
